“…Today the chances of social transnationalism reside in INGOs whose members cross states and assert 'panhuman' interests such as the promotion of human rights, environmental ecology, [and] international development co-operation. 8 We might also add religion to the range of 'pan-human' interests that Attina identifies. This leads to an interesting question: to what extent, if at all, do transnational religious interactions threaten state sovereignty?…”

“…Here, "radical religious ideologies have become vehicles for a variety of rebellions against authority that are linked with myriad of social, cultural and political grievances and challenge the Western established global order" (Juergensmeyer 2005). At another level, the Roman MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy Vol 4 No 14 November 2013 Catholic Church mentioned earlier, and the Organisation of Islamic Conference are religious organisations with transnational outlook and interests influencing global outcomes through the wielding of 'soft power," namely ideational power (Haynes 2007:44-56, 136-151;Attina 1989). In this sense, in the last two decades beginning from the 1990s, religious actors from different faiths have become involved in both domestic and international attempts to resolve conflicts and build peace (Bouta et al (2005).…”

This paper examines the implications of religious resurgence for international relations (IR). It argues that the rationalist character of IR mainstream theories makes them reluctant to factor in religion into the analysis of international relations but instead treat religion as being irrelevant in the conduct of state actors. However, the paper takes exception to this foundational position and avers inter alia that religion transcends the unobservable spiritual meaning to material reality with grave repercussions for the working of the international system and the foreign policy of states. The paper recommends a rethink and expansion of IR discipline to accommodate the ever visible impact of religion in international relations.

“…Inoltre, il dibattito sugli affari internazionali, che pure aveva luogo in Italia, era di norma ideologizzato, e anche questo scoraggiava l'affermazione di una disciplina «ideologicamente neutra», proprio come l'ideologizzazione del dibattito politico interno aveva osteggiato l'affermazione della scienza politica tout court 1 . E proprio come, a livello accademico, diritto e storia avevano rallentato il cammino della scienza politica, queste due stesse materie, nella loro proiezione internazionale, ostrui-1 Per una ricostruzione dell'evoluzione delle relazioni internazionali in Italia si rimanda ad Attinà 1989;Attinà e Lucarelli 2013;Bonanate 1990;Lucarelli e Menotti 2002, 2006 vano il passo allo studio politologico degli affari internazionali in modo ancora più deciso: il diritto internazionale, la storia dei trattati, la storia delle relazioni internazionali, erano rivali ingombranti, e per nulla disposti a farsi da parte.…”

Umberto Gori has held the first chair of International Relations in Italy and has been the first scholar to address a series of central topics in the analysis of foreign policy and international politics. Those who browse, even if only rapidly, his rich bibliography cannot but be struck by the great variety of the topics examined: from the first works of a predominantly legal nature, we move on to studies centered on methodological and epistemological issues, relations between states, analysis of foreign policy in general and Italian foreign policy in particular, Peace Research, strategic affairs, intelligence, and finally the impact of the information and digital revolution on international politics and contemporary strategy. What holds together so many different issues is, firstly, a constant attention to methodology and, secondly, a clear preference for a predominantly operational approach, in the belief that knowledge must always be functional to decision and action. These basic attitudes are reflected not only in his strongly characterized research agenda, but also in the twofold nature of his teaching commitment: on the one hand, Gori taught outside the university classrooms, at military and governmental institutions, for decades; on the other hand, he introduced issues traditionally reserved to diplomacy and security institutions into the Italian academic context. Such a propensity to build bridges between different worlds - academic, military, technological, diplomatic, financial - and a research vocation that has never failed make Umberto Gori a figure indissolubly linked to the birth and development of International Relations in Italy.
